weather and equipment permitting. Phase III is between Pioneer and Warren Avenues.
An open house on Phase III is scheduled from 4:30 p.m. to 6:00 p.m. on Wednesday, August 17 at St.
Mark’s Parish Hall, 1908 Central Avenue.
Work between Carey and Warren Avenues will include new water lines; sanitary sewer line work along with
new manholes; replacing curb, gutter and sidewalk as needed; improvements to stormwater drainage; and new
road surface including an asphalt wearing course for longer street life.
Work between Pioneer and Carey Avenues will be less intensive, consisting of placing a new asphalt
wearing course in that block only.
During this ~hase of construction, the intersections of Warren A venue and East 19th Street and Central
Avenue and 19t Street are expected to be closed for three weeks at a time. Each intersection will be closed
sequentially. Detours will be posted when these intersections are closed.
During construction, businesses and residences will have access.
The cost of Phase III is $1.213 million. Funding for this project is from the Fifth-Penny Sales Tax and the
Board of Public Utilities.
Reconstruction of 19th Street has been a two year planned project. Phase I was between Warren Avenue and
Morrie Avenue which was completed in 2015 at a cost of $3.4 million. Phase II between Crow Creek and
Pioneer Avenue was completed in July 2016 at a cost of $5.4 million.
Reiman Corp. is the general contractor on all three phases of this project.
